My digital paintings represent a reality observed through my familial roles, identity, gender, and memory. With intuitions, I create metaphorical spaces populated by female characters, embodying my uncanny perceptions of intimacy under a pressured kinship origin. In my painted spaces, the human figures, and their environments are disassembling and distorting, questioning the legitimacy of "normal," where common sense is perceived as an illusion and byproduct of a utilitarian society functioning like machinery. Observations, though seemingly objective, are deeply influenced by subjective notions that compelled me to reconstruct this corner of reality as I genuinely "saw" it. My memories, experiences, and cognition have shaped me, only by integrating them was I able to understand and depict a scene's concept at a certain moment.
